Ny POV

I wasn't able to get in contact with her ever since what happened. I hope she's okay. I really shouldn't of left her. I know she wanted me to leave but maybe it would of been better if I stayed.

My mom never found out that I left, so I'm good but I wish I could know what was going on with Asia. I don't even know where she's lives and I'm about to leave back to my city in a few hours. I really like her and she got me worried as hell.

Asia POV

I'm already half way done with my cereal since that's the only food I bought for myself. I been looking for a telephone booth so I could call the number that the lady gave me. Maybe she can help me out, I don't know. But what I don't understand is why it's so hard to find a telephone booth thing around here.

I walk to the library and ask to use the phone on the counter. The man nodded as I picked up the phone and dialed in the number as I read it off the card. Ringgg ringggg ringgggg... the ringing went on for what seemed like forever. I was starting to think I wasn't going to get any help.

"Hello?" I heard a girl, that sounded to be around my age's, voice. "Hi I- is this Mrs.," I flipped the card over to see the name, "Greene?" I asked as I waited for a response. "Um hollon...," I could hear her breath distancing from the phone when she yelled 'AUNTIEEEE'. I guess the lady who approached me was this girl's aunt. I stood there waiting patiently for someone to say something to me.

"Hello this is Tasha Greene." "Hi Mrs. Greene, you gave me your card yesterday and I decided to call you now I guess." I bit my bottom lip as I was kind of nervous. "Oh yes I remember you! Was it Asia?" She asked. "Yes ma'am." I replied, relieved that she at least remembered me.

"I can provide you a room to stay in, you won't have to pay rent nor pay for the food. I got you on that. I just need you to be able to manage a few restaurants for me and go to school. I will pay you for your hours and when you are able to help yourself, I will let you go. Is that okay?" She told me.

That sounded good but I don't think I can trust her. But I really need somewhere to stay. It's not even safe just living outside, and right now she is the only way I can have a place to stay. "Why you helping me?" I asked her. "I have been in your position baby, and someone helped me out. I'm just returning the favor. And I would feel guilty if I didn't help you." I stayed quiet just thinking. "Where are you right now?" She asked me.

"I'm at the library right next to Star Mall." I said as she said she would be here soon. I put the phone back down and thanked the guy at the counter. I walked to the table with computers and sat there waiting.

About 40 minutes later I saw Mrs. Greene walk into the library looking around. I hesitantly stood up and waved at her. She smiled and walked towards me. "Hey Asia." She smiled as I greeted her back. "Okay come with me and I could bring you home and to your room. Are you ready?" She said to me. I didn't have nothing at all except for my few dollars, a cereal box and a water bottle. So I guess I was ready. I'm just scared since I don't know if I can trust her. I followed her anyways though.

In the car she asked me questions about how old I am, how I did in school, why I'm on the streets. I didn't answer the last one though. I wanted to but I couldn't. I felt embarrassed also. I never thought I would be out here getting help from a stranger. I also smell bad as hell and my clothes are dirty.

She pulled up into the driveway of a two story house. The house was huge. Shidddd I always wanted to live in a two story house. The neighborhood even got sidewalks! And the house got a doorbell! She told me to go upstairs into the first room to the left.

I got out the car and closed the door gently. I looked at the house and then back at Mrs. Greene. She was staying in the car talking on the phone. I walked up to the house and was about to knock on the door when it creaked open.

I looked up to see someone peak through the door. It was stud.

She looked at me then made a sniff sound with her nose. She gave me this stank face, "We don't got no money for you." I looked at her kind of pissed, "I'm here with Mrs. Greene." "Mrs. Gr- who the fuck is you and why you lying." She said as she was about to slam the door in my face. Then a girl walked up behind her stopped the door from closing. It was the same fem who was in the passenger seat earlier. "Hey," she smiled, "Come in and don't mind Jazz, she a asshole." She stepped back from the entrance and signaled her hands for me to come in. I thanked her and walked in.

"So is this your house?" I asked her. "Yeah, me and my cousin been living with my auntie since we was kids." She replied while walking towards a room. "Oh thas coo," I looked at her. "Mhm, okay you can take a shower in that room and I will put some extra clothes for you on the bed." She said as she opened the door for the room. "Thank you" I mumbled as she nodded. I walked into the room looking around just admiring it. The bed has this zebra like design bed sheet with pillars on each corner of the bed. It had a flat screen tv placed on top of a huge ass dresser sitting opposite of the bed. The floor has grey wood tiles. There was a mirror glued onto the ceiling.

I walked into the bathroom to see the marble slab and a fancy ass sink that looked like the ones they be having in Chinese restaurants. When I flicked this light switch on, lights that would change colors slowly on top of the shower turned on. I looked at myself in the mirror. Damn am surprise they ain't thought I did crack. There was crust around my eyes, my lips were chapped as hell, my hair looked like it has it's own mind, damn I look crazy. I lifted up my arms and smelled myself shiiid and I smell like hot dog water and fish caca. I took off my clothes, I had bug bites all over my body damn. I opened the glass door for the shower and turned on the water. I closed my eyes as the cold water showered onto me.

I got out the shower and walked to the bed. I saw a pair of ripped jeans, a crop top, and sum underwear. I know I'm a fem but for some reason, I'm really not feeling these type of clothes. I always wanted to wear more men's clothings but I didn't want to give my mom any reason for her to think I was gay. That would've just made my life harder, but look at me, kicked out for liking girls anyways.

I wore the clothes that the girl gave me. I still don't know her name yet, I'm going to have to ask her soon. Knock knock. The door opened and it was Mrs. Greene. "Did you take your shower?" She asked me. "Yeah.. Do you have other clothes I could borrow? If you don't that's alright I really appreciate how much your helping me." I replied. She looked at me confused a little bit when I said other clothes, but then her face went back to smiling, "That doesn't matter, I was going to take you out to go buy clothes right now so you can get whatever you want okay?" I felt guilty, I didn't want to be a burden on her. She's already letting me into her house. "You don't have to feel bad. If you need anything you can ask me. I don't mind but right now I'm taking you shopping, I want to help you. Don't never feel bad when I spend money on you or anything alright?" She said to me. I nodded and said thank you.

"Alright girl, come on let's go now." She walked out the room and I followed her out. On my way out of the house, I saw the stud from earlier. I looked at her and then she looked at me mad as hell. Damn df is ha problem.
